comments tweeted by attendeesElmo rubs it in that he got a Common Sense Media Award before President Clinton

Secretary of State Clinton: To me, his most impressive service has always been his role as a dad.

Chelsea: even when we weren't consuming media together, my dad always asked me about what I was watching, listening to.

Bill Clinton quotes: looked for a teachable moment out of tough coverage he got in a reelection campaign, I love the idea of a digital driver's license, Just as we worry what kids are exposed to, we should worry that our mistakes are keeping them from learning & knowing, Our children can be trusted to make the right decisions if they KNOW. And that is part of Common Sense

I was in disbelief when I got the email that invited me to speak at the fourth annual meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative University (CGI U). There is no way I can share a platform with President Bill Clinton and Sean Penn, I said to myself. This must be spam. How could the former President of the United States share a panel with a Kenyan slum boy?

From its bamboo floors to its state-of-the-art "green roof," which grows over 90 types of plants while also reducing the building's energy consumption with 300 solar panels, the Clinton Presidential Center embodies President Clinton's vision for sustainability.

We want to expand this vision to homes and lives around the world and would like your help to encourage everyday actions that we can all do to create a more sustainable future. How do you make a daily difference?

Share your tips with us -- we'll choose 10 ideas and present them this Earth Day.

Former President Bill Clinton dedicated his boyhood home in Hope on Saturday as part of the National Park Service, and he used the occasion to say that the U.S. is having hard times because people are too focused on money and not enough on each other.

Clinton told about 400 people on a windy and sunny afternoon that growing up without a television led him to focus on people and the stories they told.

"We here of a certain age were raised to see everyone. My grandfather taught me to see people without regard for the color of their skin," Clinton said.

The Right Honourable David Johnston, who became Canada's 28th Governor General last October and is a well-known champion of community philanthropy, will open the event on Thursday, May 12 at 8:30 a.m. Later that day, attendees will hear from Clinton, whose own Foundation is tackling issues ranging from climate change to HIV/AIDS to childhood obesity.
